Zi Yumo tapped the table with her fingertip.
“Your idea is good, but can you really manage it?”
“Not to speak of the distant past, just look at the recent situation.
In Jiang City, the acting County Magistrate Zhang Kuisan hates you to the bone, and his hatred is not any less than Lu Xingtian’s.
He’s so eager he’d skin you alive if he could.”
“With him hampering you, it will be hard enough to get the County Government on your side, let alone the County Committee and other departments.”
“And even if you could consolidate Jiang City into an ironclad stronghold, it is still just a county.
Once Lu Xingtian returns to power, as the second in command of Zhongzhou City, don’t you think he’ll find ways to extend his reach towards Jiang City to deal with you?”
“What’s more, it is said that during next year’s selection, he is very likely to become the new City Secretary.”
“Although the incidents involving Lu Chen and Fang Xiong might impact him, who knows if they will actually hinder him.”
“In short, you need to prepare for the worst.”
Zi Yumo clearly pointed out the current predicament of Xu Qianli.
With his position, he was fundamentally unable to compete with Lu Xingtian.
To turn Jiang City into an ironclad stronghold could only protect him temporarily.
Over time, Lu Xingtian would always find an opportunity to break through and make a move against him.
Xu Qianli said, “You’re right, but at the moment, this is the only method I have to respond.”
“Who said this is the only method?”
Zi Yumo, halfway through her sentence, suddenly had a trace of shyness appear on her stunning face, and said softly, “Or, I could talk to my mom and get you transferred to another place?”
As soon as she spoke, Zi Yumo was so mortified she wished she could crawl into a hole.
She usually detested those who used connections to get transferred.
Yet today, she was willing to go to her own mother for help, for Xu Qianli’s sake, which was tantamount to openly showing him how important he was to her.
Even as if it were a declaration of love, Zi Yumo couldn’t even hide her bashfulness.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli took hold of Zi Yumo’s hand again.
“Thanks for your kindness, fierce girl,” he said.
“But hey, you’re underestimating your man.
I am not so weak or so easily bullied.”
“Now, it’s not just Zhang Kuisan; even Lu Xingtian would find it’s not so easy to deal with me!”
“Just wait and see how Xu Qianli will rise step by step, how I will trample each and every one of my opponents underfoot, and in three years, I will have established a career and take you home!”
Xu Qianli spoke with overwhelming confidence, his chest filled with boundless ambition.
He was pushed into a corner; he was all in and ready to risk everything!
Looking at Xu Qianli’s resolute face and listening to his extremely grave words, Zi Yumo suddenly felt her heart tremble.
Oh no, why does she find Xu Qianli more and more appealing?
Could it be that after being bullied by him last night, she had fallen in love with him?
Xu Qianli also gazed intently at Zi Yumo.
If Zi Ning was a high and lofty princess, then Zi Yumo was a cold and unattainable ice queen, even harder to be with.
He felt incredibly lucky that, during her moment of vulnerability last night, he had managed to enter her heart and had been intimately close to her several times— it was like a dream.
Even if his status was not worthy of her, what did it matter?
Now that he had taken action, he would never let go.
He would hold on to her hand firmly for the rest of his life!
Just as the atmosphere between them was right, Xu Qianli’s phone suddenly rang.
He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Sun Yan, informing him that today, the Jiang City County Committee was holding a standing committee meeting, and Secretary Ge had specifically requested his attendance.
Holding a meeting on a rest day was strange enough, but his participation was even stranger.
At the County Government, the only ones qualified to attend the County Committee’s standing committee meeting were the County Magistrate and the Deputy County Magistrate, yet Xu Qianli, as the Government Office Director, was nowhere near eligible.
Today, however, Ge Changhong had specifically named him to attend without any prior notice.
It seemed certain that something related to him was going to be brought up at the meeting.
Considering the events of last night, the two issues were probably connected.
After breakfast ended, Xu Qianli first dropped Zi Yumo back at her temporary residence in Jiang City.
Before they parted, he kissed Zi Yumo fiercely, leaving her head spinning, before finally departing.
Turning around, Xu Qianli went back home, wanting to take a shower and change out of his clothes, which were clearly carrying a distinct scent.
As soon as he walked through the door, a delicate body threw itself at him, enthusiastically flinging into his arms.
Her arms hooked around his neck, her legs curled behind him, hanging off his neck, she cooed in a sweet voice, “Dear, you’re finally back.
I missed you so much last night when you weren’t here.”
The person in his arms could only be Xu Shuman.
Xu Qianli slapped her plump backside, saying irritably, “Slut, I’ve got serious matters to attend to.
Stop acting like a whore and get out of the way.”
Instead of letting go, Xu Shuman batted her seductive eyes even more vigorously at Xu Qianli.
“It’s Sunday today, what serious matters could you possibly have?”
“I really missed you, missed you so, so much.
Can’t you stay and spend the day with me?”
“Today, I want to give my hundred percent to serve you well, to make up for any neglect in the past.”
“Don’t you think I look gorgeous today, dear?
Don’t you want to make love to me?”
“My dear, husband, I want you!”
Xu Shuman was trying her best to bewitch Xu Qianli, her voice sweet and soft, as she gently rubbed against him.
She knew Xu Qianli too well; in the past, he would never have been able to resist her temptations.
“I really do have important matters to deal with, no time to be with you.
There are cucumbers and carrots in the kitchen, if you really need it, make do with those.”
Xu Qianli pulled Xu Shuman off his neck and dumped her onto the sofa before heading to the bedroom to shower.
Sitting on the sofa, Xu Shuman was utterly helpless and frustrated, flipping a middle finger at Xu Qianli, “You bastard, Xu Qianli, I hate you!”
Xu Qianli washed up as if he hadn’t heard a thing, changed into clean clothes, and was ready to leave.
Upon reaching the living room, he saw Xu Shuman with red-rimmed eyes, her pretty face streaked with tears, looking at him pitifully as she choked up, “Xu Qianli, I’m asking you, can we really not go back to how it used to be?”
“You know the answer, so why bother asking!”
He left her with those cold words, not lingering a moment longer and drove straight to the Jiang City County Committee Office.
Arriving at the location and gazing at the County Committee office building, Xu Qianli couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
He never thought that one day he would be participating in a County Committee standing committee meeting, which was doubtlessly a very special experience for him.
This time he was merely sitting in, but sooner or later, he would be fully involved.
No, not just involved, but within three years, he was determined to become the top leader at the Jiang City County Committee Office!
With high ambitions, Xu Qianli stepped into the meeting room at the County Committee Office.
Inside the meeting room, several standing committee members were surprised to see Xu Qianli arrive.
Especially Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Kuisan, who was extremely surprised.
When had this guy reached the same level as him, what right did he have to attend a Jiang City County Committee standing committee meeting?
